With more than 8,000 episodes to its credit and still going strong, Shortland Street is by far the most popular daily soap in New Zealand. Set in the fictional Auckland suburb of Ferndale, the show follows the lives of doctors, nurses, patients and others connected to Shortland Street Hospital.
Although it’s full of stethoscopes, scalpels and medical drama – from natural disasters to serial killers – the series also thrives on personal stories, including romance, marriages and break-ups, as well as the arrival of triplets for the one and only Chris Warner. He is the long-time spearhead of the series and a character who has been with the series since it began airing in 1992.
